I am recruiting PhD students interested in working at the intersection
of neuroscience, AI, machine learning, computer vision, natural
language processing, and robotics.  My group conducts fMRI and EEG
studies to study conceptual processing in humans including object and
activity recognition, the vision-language interface, the compositional
nature of human vision and language, i.e. how predicates combine with
arguments, and mathematical reasoning.  My group also conducts
research into machine systems that ground language in vision and
robotics, both manipulation and navigation, as well as automatic
differentiation (AD).

Strong candiates interested in working with me in these areas should
apply to:

   https://www.purdue.edu/academics/ogsps/admissions/how-to-apply/index.html

for the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at
the West Lafayette campus. While the deadline is 1 December 2025, it
is strongly suggested to submit a full application as early as
possible.  While Purdue does not require GRE scores (they can be
optionally included in your application) and accepts either TOEFL or
IELTS for international students, I require GRE scores and accept only
TOEFL for full consideration.  Interested candidates are strongly
suggested to contact me at qobi at qobi.org after you have submitted a
complete application.

    Thanks,
    Jeff (http: //engineering.purdue.edu/~qobi)
